Haggling at a guitar store? AC15

So, I'm looking to buy an amp (AC15 to be exact, any opinions on that are also welcome as I am not 100% decided yet), and need to know how to haggle! I'm in Australia if that matters. The RRP here for the amp is 1500 dollars. Which is quite insane.

Other than paying cash, are there any tips that could help me? How much should I be looking to get it for? It's the one with the blue Alnico speaker.

I heard taking a friend can help, but that's about it.

    That was a very very good article. Wow.

    Thank you, that was a really good read. I've picked up a few things from that.

    1) Don't let them know how much money you are willing to spend
    2) talk to the right people
    3) Talk to them by name, let them know you etc...
